Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi, thank you for using health care magic.
I can understand your concerns.
From the symptoms you have described it seems that panic disorder is the the most probable diagnosis. Still you should get thyroid function test , as many time increased thyroid hormone also produce similar symptoms.
primary treatment of panic disorder is SSRI medicine mainly sertraline and escitalopram. this medicines start working in around 1 to 2 weeks. Ambulax-m is mostly an adjutant medicine for symptom control.
Ask your treating psychiatrist for SSRI medicines. In my opinion it will greatly help you.
Hope you find this helpful.
regards.
